i encourage ANYONE making more then $100k to ‘Go Galt’ either in whole or in parts
in whole, you would quit working and stop all purchases
in part, you would radically cut spending to hurt the beast as best you can
either way, firing or not-hiring any/all liberals is an imperative
“either way, firing or not-hiring any/all liberals is an imperative”

That may be a useful tactic but the deeper, more fundamental post-election problem we now face is the irreconcilable incompatibility between socialism, with its belief in government control, versus capitalism and personal freedoms. It appears that the voting alignments in this country no longer favor the latter. We need a solution that goes beyond “Going Galt”.
Right on. I won't say how much I make, although I made a damn' good living. For the past 4 years, we've pretty much only purchased food and clothing. When something breaks, we fix it - as cheaply as we can. If we can't fix it, we question whether or not we even need it before we replace it.
In the case of replacing something, it has to be something we require as part of our daily lives. In this instance, we've replaced TWO broken items in our home that I could not fix. Both of those items totalled less than $400.
My wife's vehicle, a Honda Odyssey minivan is a 2008 model purchased in August, 2007. My vehicle is a 2003 GMC Envoy Denali. Both are in good running shape (praying the GMC stays that way) and require nothing more than gas and oil changes at this point. One of them will need new tires in about a year, which I'll have to replace - as cheaply as possible.
In the last four years I've learned to repair TV's, Dishwashers, Washing Machines, Dryers, my Furnace, lawnmower, basic home repairs, and basic automobile maintenance. I don't know how much I've saved doing these things myself - probably well into the thousands. Previously I'd have replaced the dishwasher, dryer, washer, lawn mower, etc.. I'd also have previously called someone else to do the home repairs.
Not anymore. There's alot of satisfaction in becoming more and more self sufficient and keeping my own money while screwing "the man."
I forgot ... I purchased a few new weapons in the last year. Don't remember how much they cost but it was all for nothing as they were lost in a tragic fishing accident.
